Notes: During his stay at Rangoon in the summer of 1826, Crawfurd drew up his account of this town, although it was not published until he included it in his account of his embassy made to the Burmese court in 1827, which was published in 1829. As Crawfurd explains: ?The following account of Rangoon was collected by me while I resided there in civil, charge of Pegu, a period of more than six months.? M.W.C.
